Dragon Roar Master at Hogwarts

The interrogation room of the French Ministry of Magic was very similar to the interrogation rooms of the British Ministry of Magic and the American Ministry of Magic that Dudley had seen in movies before. It was a circular room with gradually rising benches surrounding the interrogated 'prisoners' in the middle.

Dudley, Fleur, and Newt stood in the middle. Facing Dudley was a thin, bald middle-aged man who was reading loudly the contents of the parchment in his hand.

"...To sum up, based on the testimony of everyone from the Ministry of Magic, as well as the Auror Joseph Abel of the Ministry of Magic."

"It can be confirmed that Fleur Delacour, Newt Scamander, and Dudley Dursley broke into the Ministry of Magic and participated in the murder of Auror Boris Bernard. According to the documents issued by the French Ministry of Magic... ....He was sentenced to life imprisonment, and at the same time, the man behind the scenes and his accomplices will continue to be traced..."

"Your Excellency, please allow me to interrupt for a moment."

As an old and rich voice sounded, the bald middle-aged man - said to be the French Minister of Magic immediately froze, and the entire interrogation room fell silent for an instant.

"Professor Dumbledore, although I don't know what the situation is like in the UK -" the minister almost squeezed out these words through gritted teeth, "but in our French Ministry of Magic, you have no right to interfere with our trial process. of!"

"I'm just saying a few words." Dumbledore didn't even look at the minister, but looked at the people in the audience. "I noticed that all the witness statements presented by the minister are more or less consistent with the Ministry of Magic. Relevant - and also significantly different from the description of the situation I submitted..."

"Professor Dumbledore, this is a very serious accusation. Please take back your words!" The minister's face turned red and he knocked on the table angrily. "I can still think that you were deceived by the prisoner... If If you continue talking, I will have to consider the possibility of your involvement in the case——"

"It's okay if you say so." Professor Dumbledore stood up proudly and strode in front of Dudley, "As the principal of Hogwarts, I have the right to protect my students from injustice in a foreign country. Treat with judgment!”

There was an uproar in the spectator stands. Dumbledore's reputation was not only in the UK, but also spread all over the world.His confrontational statement with the French Ministry of Magic was undoubtedly like dropping a bomb.

"Quiet, quiet!" The minister banged the small wooden hammer in his hand hard, his face turning from red to white.

"So, Mr. Minister, do you have any further evidence?" Professor Dumbledore said in a loud voice, with a shocking majesty, "Of course, in addition to the evidence provided by people outside of the Ministry of Magic."

"The evidence is in Delacour's house! Including the venomous snake that killed Bernard!" Abel's hysterical roar rang out from the spectators' gallery: "But that giant hybrid woman has been hindering our search - —”

"This is because you cannot issue a legal search warrant without further evidence!" Dumbledore snapped.

"Due to doubts about your impartiality and for safety reasons, Mr. and Mrs. Delacour have the right to refuse your search, and it is reasonable for Ms. Maxime to help her friend-which, by the way, Ms. Maxime never Please retract your disrespectful statement regarding her own heritage."

Dumbledore's words once again aroused heated discussion in the audience, and the principal of another famous magic school was involved, causing everyone to explode again.

The trial reached a stalemate, and Dudley admired Dumbledore's sophistication and wisdom.

Their behavior of breaking into the Ministry of Magic headquarters is indeed irrefutable, and explaining the reason for the break-in involves many things. Instead, they may fall into the Ministry of Magic's routine, and the explanation will become darker and darker.

But Dumbledore simply and crudely bypassed the explanation step and directly questioned the legitimacy of the testimony in the hands of the Ministry of Magic.

Although Dudley knew that the testimonies of those who witnessed him breaking into the Ministry of Magic were not lying, this did not prevent Dumbledore from rebelling and risking his own reputation to accuse the Ministry of collusion.

Regarding the reputation of the greatest magician in the current world, the matter cannot be settled simply.This forces the Minister of Magic to provide more evidence to convince the public.

However, under the protection of Ms. Maxim, the Ministry of Magic could not forcefully search the Delacour home. After all, neither Dudley nor Fleur had been formally convicted. The Ministry of Magic's forced search was obviously unreasonable.

But Dudley was still a little worried. After all, Dumbledore's approach seemed to be stalking and delaying. Ms. Maxim could not stay away from Delacour's house for the rest of her life, and Lockhart could not be illegally imprisoned here forever. .

As long as there is a slight flaw in the defense, it would be terrible if the Ministry of Magic breaks in. Not to mention Nagini, who has been identified as the murder weapon, Norberta, who is recovering from injuries, will also become a problem that they cannot explain - it is not convenient now. magic suitcase.

At this moment, a young Ministry of Magic official hurriedly burst in from the door, then quickly walked to the side of the Minister of Magic, leaned over and said a few words in his ear.

The Minister of Magic's face turned from worry to clear, with a smile of victory on his face, and he said to Dumbledore triumphantly: "Professor Dumbledore, you must think that you have mastered the situation with your eloquent words, but it's a pity. , it seems that we have slightly overestimated the number one wizard in the world."

"Oh?" Dumbledore narrowed his eyes and said slowly: "It seems that the Minister has made some new discoveries?"

"You just asked me to provide more evidence, right?" The Minister of Magic wiped the cold sweat that had just appeared on his forehead and said with a grin: "Unfortunately, we just got new ironclad evidence - and it is very comprehensive. We have all the witnesses and material evidence! We guarantee that these people can be sent to jail... Of course, there may be more gains!"

Dudley suddenly felt that his left hand was tightly grasped by a soft hand. He looked to the side and saw Fleur pursed her lips tightly and her face looked a little pale due to nervousness.

"It's okay, Fleur." Dudley whispered comfortingly into Fleur's ear, "Trust Dumbledore... he is the smartest person I have ever met."

"Suspects should not whisper to each other... Of course, it doesn't matter now." The Minister of Magic banged the small wooden hammer in his hand and announced loudly: "Because we have a new witness - Lord Merlin, Third Class. , Honorary member of the Defense League against Dark Arts, Mr. Gilderoy Lockhart!"

"The clever and brave Mr. Lockhart not only successfully escaped from the illegal imprisonment of these vicious criminals, but also successfully took away irrefutable evidence that proved their evil deeds of breaking into the Ministry of Magic and attacking Muggles——"

"Newt Scamander's magical suitcase that illegally used the Invisible Stretch Charm, and the ferocious dragon in it!"
